Tristan Luus to Williamson, out Caught by Rashid Khan!! Wowza! Rashid Khan has pulled off the catch of the tournament already. It would take an extraordinary effort to top this. Dug into the surface wide of off, Williamson flays it straight and gets more height than distance. Rashid Khan kept running backwards and to his left at long-off and then had to control his momentum on the slide to take an absolute stunner over his right shoulder. He never looked like taking it and somehow managed to cling on with both hands at the last minute. Williamson c Rashid Khan b Tristan Luus 40(25) [4s-7]
